I stayed for 55 nights and was very comfortable. This immaculate private home was recently completely remodeled. It has new appliances and furnishings, a well-equiped kitchen with everything needed, garage parking for two cars, fenced in outdoor space, washer and dryer, comfortable beds and great showers. There are also two wonderful family-owned restaurants within walking distance. A truly wonderful home away from home.
